Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

New app designed to monitor stroke risk

This just perpetuates the myth that 80% of strokes are easily preventable.

Stroke researchers and technology developers have teamed up to design a new phone application which they hope will help save lives.
Specialists from AUT are the brains behind a new app which they say can help detect a person's stroke risk.
Users can calculate their risk by simply entering their age, blood pressure reading and dietary habits into the free Stroke Riskometer.
Professor Valery Feigin said the app is very simple to use.

If I were to have taken that test 7 years ago the risk would have been nil.
